. . , .. -=,v whoM Mrs. Cta r k e ' s evidenc e i.vas - Cerroberafek was Miss Taylor. Hit. Right; How.. Friend near him (Mr. Windham), bad said last night that there , was this difference between Mrs. Clarke and . Miss ' Taylor, viz. that the cherther of the fortnei was bad, but her testimony goodi while the clutimeter,Of ,the latter was good, and her testimony.bad. Prom : . this distinction he dissented. His Right Horiburable ` t :.!ieod was of opinion that Miss Taylor had , been tntoreci; that she had rehearsed her part before she • • appeared at the Ear. He . (Lord 'l'.) did not believe to—he believed her evidence to be perfeCtly correct.; 11 he believed she had not been.totored ; he believed that she had not rettearsed 'her pact. HA she ber:p littered, she would have learned more; she would have been taught 'a tale,whieltwould have better an kwered the purposes of her instructors. Had she rehearsed' a part, it would have been a part of more idtportance. While ha admitted, however, ibather evidetite was in his opinion free flolll,ltlSpiCiOn; he rontended,,that- it by no means went to convict the :auks of York of corruption. " How-did French .behave to you, darling ?" could not, in his Mind, . 'he .perieried to mega " How does he pay you ?" if the Duke of York was corrupt, be either made 1V1.,. iss Taylor a party to his corruption„or he did not. 11 ire did make her a party, was it .credible that thi . s. . tvZs the only phrase of the kind which Miss Taylor . leeolleaed his, Royal Highness to haVe used in her presence ? If he did not make her a party, .was it. credible that he should have uttered even :the single. • phrase before a female, in whom he placed no confi dence, and who, for ought be knew, might, and pro , bably would, relate what she had heard ? Bistaltho' Miss Taylor's evid ence did not gciso tar as to convict the Duke of York of corruption, it convided him of permitting Mrs. Clarke to interfere with his offi cial duties, and to recommend her friends to his no tice as Commander in Chief. He would proceed, ' , however, to the next evidence that bad been ad duced in support of the charge of corruption, Which was the large establishment at Gloucester-place, and the dedudion, that as Mrs. Clarke evidently expended .six times her allowance,' his Royal Highness ought to have known that she must have'llad recourse to im proper Praaices. This he coeld not anew. In judging of the charatSters of others we must "not always be ' guided by 'our own. .A• banker or a merchant who - 1 kept regular accounts Would, perhaps, not. easily un- . demand how the Duke of York could, be so irregb lar; but for his part he would rather prove his Royal highness guilty of extravagance - than corruption ; .he would rather prove that his Royal Highness conceived ' be was running in debt` than that lie was aware of the stratagems of his . mistress. Nor was this in the, ;lightest degree improbable. The establishment at Gloucester-place was certainly very splendid and very. , magnificent, and if pecuniary affairs had gone on. smoothly and regularly, it might haVe been urged that his Royal Highness ought to have known that such splendour and such magnificence Could' not be , tnaintained with the sums which Mrs. Clarke re.- caved from him. But what was.tbe fact ? That his I ,t°3'al Highness frequently saw Mrs. Clarice in great l 'i'tress—shat she found site was compelled to pawn her jewels•s-that there were repeated executions in the hou,e—that she told hint several times that she was in danger of complete deitrutiioil. Under such c ircumstances how could his Royal Highness, ima- gine that she resorted to undue means to - support ' tier establishment, when if was continually evident to bite • that the expellees of that establishment were not d e f rayed. If any one should say that the e of York ought to has e been more regular in his payments, and that he ex ought to have seen that the establishment w e re o f t h e in Gloucester . ..place actually ddfrayedl he would readily admit the Justice of the observation.. But the fad was, that his u ' A )al Highness had never paid any attention to his Own pecuni ary af f airs; and therefore could not be ex cacti • . P to attend much to the pecuniary' affairs of soother, 14 ~--g be lieved bins profuse, but he did not. teileve rum corrupt. He acquitted him wholly Of , •corruption, of participation in corru • f con omit, or o ivance i i !. ~ at corruption 3 but he believed him to be - algal); guilty and deeply criminal in allowing Mrs. viarke to interpose with his official duties ; in permitting her to make recomMendatione to hint to which he listened,, and by this permission, to allow her the semblence at least of his authority. T ; . he corroborated evidence of this 'fad was to him conclusive ; it was spootaneous ; it was unpreme- , ditated;' it was not intencledth bes breught forward ; it was toend by accident, but it' afforded the most convincing proof of the existence of the crime. With Teak& to French's Levy, it must be all Owed by all that it was a Most ruinous bargain for the plablic—it Was Obtained withoutapy statement'ofcircurnitances Without any military' reeemmendation—without any IT :due, inqui r y int o t h e circumstuices of the case.— hat was the fair dedutlion ? That it . originated in 'another recommendation, and when connected with the other testimony it was clear that that recoils- Inendation was 'Mrs. Clarke's. As' to the case of ' br. O'Mara, the way in which 110 Royal I - ligbnetss bad permitted a matt who professed to have 'a call from God, but who listened, to the dilates of Marn rnon—who professed to be 'a Minister of . perity, but who was the base 'attendant on an adulteress, at the recommendation of that adulteress to approach him for tbepurpose'bf being introduced to his Father, , I i Slid with the further' view of procurino ° a Bishopric, "'as most strongly to be reprobated. lii this ad his t 4 1`)Yal Highliess forgot. his duty, his rank, and his Situa tion. In the case of Kennett it was also evi ,lecilt that hi s Roya l Highness the Duke of York had ‘, l 4 c i red his influence improperly, with a view to ob• 1 for a titan with whom ha was ' negociating a r;7 11 . 1 a post under Government ; and,in the case of .edderton W• 'd Government that lei had given him.a ds evi t., Pa ' pilasters) • the recommendatioit of Mrs. , li on vibe Norway 't he 'Conclud of Isis Royal_ High , nests ' '. . as i t regarded General Clavering less reprehen sible. lii his letter to Mrs. Clarke on the subjeat, he desired her to tell General Clavering that, there , Would be Ito use i n he r a pplying fur a regiment for him, became it was not 'intended to raise any neW I l ' e ghlichts, but only second battalions to the existing I, e) rPs. What was the evident deduaion ? ,Why, I That if it had been intended to raise any 'new regi , ~t,-si lents, Mrs. Cla r k e might have applied ! If his, lI , toYal Highness had .tione his duty, instead of the gnawer which he made to her, he should have said, Tell Clavering that this is a point on which you e f annot interfe re; for that however great . my love 31 YOU)I neve r allow you'*to Meddle in milit i as , mat . • s era," But his Royal,,Highness bad not done so, and roltt this, as well as from the other. .circuinstances 5 )11, on 4 , 0 CS' iiiittch So-Itact stated, the inference was, t Le lia4 been-guilty of permitting Mrs. Charlie criminally to interfete,in military transatlions; Adverting to the sentiments expressed last night by his Honotifahl Frien'd tiear him (Mr. Windham) hesdeclared, that were hisopinioni so evenly balanced as' these•of Right. Honourable Friend, he would wholly acqUit the Duke of- Yorlc.. He would not. employ him- sellin splitting . hairs, and then, wits half an .hair, in strangling the charatler of that bUt, ~thinking as he did,. he' ,was now compelled - to declare, that he did not Oonsidet the Duke - of York as worthy to retain the situation of Commander in Chief. .If he uere allowed to approao:t• h fork Highness, he would advise hini to reggn his office. If Ministers did their duty, they would recommend to his Majesty to odvise his Royal Highness to resign his office. .Uniess they did so they would fail in the sacred obligationS which they owed their Sovereign. The most urgent moth es for .his resignation would meet , his Royal Highneis• at. every t orner and. at every step. The time .was, perhaps, approaching, when the independence and existence df Britain might be fought for on British ground. The suc cessful event of such a contest must in a great de gree depend upon the confidence which the country .reposed in the individual intrusted with the chief coMmand of our army. Could his -Royal Highness suppose that he retained that confidence ?: If so, the statements that were staring in every eye, and ring ing in every ear, would speedily undeceive him. In retirement --- inn fulfilling his duties' as a Prince—in completing that reit), m, assurances of which he had though proper to convey to the Hodge of Commons,. his Royal Highness the Doke ot -York would find opportunities for recoverink the confidence :And af fection of the people. :in times of peril like the reient, he Was compelled to repeat, that the Duke of York was not a fit i person to retain the Command of the British Armv. lie felt that he had done his duty in thus giving his decided opinion ; hut the gratification which .that feeling: afforded liter would;. he feared, be no excuse to the House for : the fatigue.. to Which he had sot jeated them.. He trusted that the 1-jouse . would do their ditty, and he . would'conclede . with the apothegm of Lord Burleighi f‘ England can never be ruined but by its Parliament, and England never will be ruined while its Parliament continues , to dOits duty." •The Loan ADVOCATE of SCOTLAND said, he was well aware of the impatience of the House to come io a vote, but he could not, in the present case, where it depended on the evidence they had heard, be content totiVe..his in Silence, and without sub mitting the groundS on which .h© proceeded. The speech of the Noble Lord Who had just sat clown did net satisfy his .mind, .for after having gone'over the evidence with the utmost deliberation,• and all the attention his mind was cci l ;;:.ble ot, his opinion was, that:•the Duke of York had not been fotaid guilty in.any one instance. He recommeuded to proceed by specific resolutions, and disagreed 'with the No ble Lord, who, though he did not think the Duke of-York guilty, Would yet vote for his ditmicsal 'froth the Chia Command. But the House was to pro • notmce decidedly guilty or innocent, which, after such a charge, was due to the meanest individual in the Itingdotn, and due also to the dignity of the ' House. He concluded by condemning both the Ad ' dresses as ambiguous, and particularly that of the Hon. Gentleman on the floor (Mr. &Hikes). Mi. WILDIERFOR63 confessed, , that when this business:was brought forwArd, , he - participated in the prejudices of many, -and thought the'charges 'so un likely, that he could not listen to them with that impartiality incumbent upon him as a Member of Parliament. For this he askeil pardon 'of the Flon. Gentleman behind him (Mr. Wardle). Tl‘e ques tion appeared to him to divide, itself into, tw'S points first, to what degree of corruption did the Duke of York participate in the matters proven ? anctieCond-.' ly, what was the general effed of this corruption? As for the pat tieipation, he could not help stating, that It .was astonishing to hitit that his Royal High neis had not felt strong suspiCions. He must have kriown froth military triends and acquaintances, that there w,aca prevailing opinion in,the army that this corruption existed. These were things; not. done in a corner, Itut generally known and published ,in widely circulated paniphlets.. It was a notorious Ind .undeniable fad' that, army patronage was corruptly disposed. of; and that the channel was through the Commander in Chief. The Duke of York must also; have known from the histories he had read; that . the mistresses of Princes had ever been the source'. to which the: corrupt had applied ; that they kept, a*it were, a shop open for the disposal of favours at Court. If, as had been said, Mrs. Clarke came from the prate Lion of an .ArtnY Broker, then the Duke ofyork ought to have, been still more CarefUl, and,on his guard atiainst her, as knowing she must., be acquainted with all the tricks and purposes of. office. His Royal,Higbness alsO knew that she was distresSed for money, and tempted by her -necessi- ties; another greaf cause to induce her 'to avail her self of the means in her power . . Her soliciting for strangers must also hate excited strong suspicions' in his rni t nd, and he could not see how-all these things could .e x ist without - -that necessary conse q u ence .— Mrs.Clarkets'calling onCorri to burn the papers were also a specific proof that a cause of stispicion had bee!i brought home to the Commander In chief.— Another circumstance 'Which ought to have flashed conviaiou on his mind was not consulting those ex cenent persons by whom he was surronnded; 'to lieep a watchful eyu on the improver influence of Mrs, Clarice. It appeared then, that the Duke of York Was shutting his" eyes to convi6tion, and-kept those in the dint who. , would have saved him frein .the abyss into which he was now plunged, Happy It have been for him had Colonel Gordon been his bosom friend, such as a Prince could seldom Lind, instead of only enjoying .his amfidence in of ficial affairs. alio Hon, Gentleman now noticed the difference of `the circumstances of 'the persons prosecuting and-detending this charge ; the latter en joying all that' legal abilities, influence and rank could it ocure, and consequently enabled to have produced, evidence to contradict what had been heard at the 'Bar, if such realty • <misted, and they had not.been afraid of injuring the . cause by so d o ing. In this' case, the proof must either be from Mrs. Clarke, the Duke of 'York, the persona who rectiv ,ed•the faVours, or the agents who negociated then). rt so happened that they had all these kinds of ,evi dence; by Mrs, Clarke at the Bar, the Duke of York's letters, the favoured Person's testimony and letters, and the agents, whether they were 41ware of Mrs. Clarke's designs, or, as was 'More probable, dupes of her arts. - Mrs..Cla'rke, in her testimony, seemed to have little scruple in .violating the truth, and she sires also colts eadieled by Others. Yel though, h could teat give, complete Credit to her, a strong inepression had been Made on' hit mind; by tledine her corroborated iii those parts where he thought bee most romancing, as in elle cases of O'Mara . Clairering. There were. seme other small deratione, which Wopld .• incline him not to put her' evidence altogether out of the- way, such as her saying she had given a slip of paper to the Duke of York, containing names of ;e4esteteinTs.Culonels Brodie and 'Knight, es hich she did not even know Die Thynne had 'mentioned in his preceding examination.' Seth •circemstances, on account of their smallness, 'were not likely to be itteented. lii faei, the great thing of all, Which confirmed him in a consideraiste degree, was the lete ters'of the Duke of York, ante the riotein Tonyn's case. These he thought had not beeti so much at tended to as They ought, and the Gentlemeu who had omitted them, forgot as- judges to e eptn•tip . 'most material part of the evidenc e . ,ffe insiSted . much on the valuegiven to Mil. Clarke's tesermohy, from her not knowing a piiork s that these docurrien* could be produced to corrnborate her statements; in-' stead of falsifying them as might lieve been expect ed. As - for What' had been said of the eepence of the •establishment, he 'never could "believe that'hie Royal. Highness had looked to the sale of Coniteis snms;• &c. for its regular supply, and the, asset lion of 'Mrs. Clarke, 'that he told her if she wits clever she needed want fur not eine, was EC7 , • improb3bkl, he could nut fyr a niontete credit ite Yet there, tedg!st. be somethiag shore of this Which pecuniary die icuf~ ties and distress occasioned. The Duke of Yolk Would not look with that acuteness to the anion's of Mrs. Clarke, nor examine them so nicely, as he would otherwise' have donee The Henontable Gentle Men now went into the various cases,. consi dered the exchange between K u jgh t .and hrecike, as. showing the general understanding that corrupt pride-; ticesexisted—a belief most injurious to the interests et' the army, which could not entertain a more ruin ous notion than that the road to preferment was by base and mean artifices, instead of patient sutfering, discipline, and conduct That of Dowler' e , li e con sidered as more grave than the forteer•i and though there was eb 'reason to beli e v e th e Duke of York privy to the'peyruent of the 0001,, yet he was eau ated by undue influence. He contended, that. his Royei Highness and not Mr. BrorikeWatsort's inter ference procured the appointment. French's levy was extremely 'suspicioirs,, and though there was no . decisive proof that the Duke knew of the corrupt' ag'reernent,.there was great reason ttethink, from the long ciorrespondence, &c. hoscould not but have sus-peeled:it, unless be were blinded by his atfeelion fur Mrs. Clarke. As for Mi ss T ay l or ' s. ev id ence, 'he conceived it tube a proof of a.wish to turn.' every. thing to the purpose of the party one had•espeused. When an Honourable Gentleman had said,- that even if she had heated the words stated in her evi dence'; they were without meaning—" Does he har sass you as he does me," was.theconstruti . ion of the sentence,Alluding to French and his. : levy, which. was a business with which the Duke alone, - and not Mn.,i Clarke, had with propriety any thi n g to do. This was another proof of corrupt influence; but considering that Miss Taylor could not recolie4t any thing else, and that these svordt were bionght toher by. Mrs. Clarktr,' he vont& 'not .-thinks this evidence ittroeg eueugh to prove auy guilty par ticipation on the part. of his Royal e flightAs.— Toeytt's case was a strong pug, and, supported, by the note, which,in his opiniion was genuine., though it was prof able it might be obtained from.the Duke of York wiilt some other view, and on some other, story than theOng-noW told. The case of -Captain , Turner proved that influence of a-similar description to Mrs. Clarke's prevailed;. and it a women, not living with the CoMmander 14 Chief, could prevail so much as to prevent the' resignation of anediccr ; what might be expected from the influence of a woman with whont he lived, and for whom be had the warmest afreOion. His view of the metter was etotwithstrinding all' that had beensaid, and the Address of his Heuoureble Friend (Mr. flankes), fully eripressed his mind and conviction. The Duke of York could not help suspetting;• but like a man, who knew his arrairs were going. wrong, he, would look'narrowly into them, .and deceived himself with the hopes, that he might go on living as usual . , without any danger: He could not say that the Doke of York knew of these transactions, and this was going as far as he could go. He inclined so much to einuht e that he would rather vote on the address than for the original ampodnient..--- As tin- what had been urged against his. Honoerable Friend's atoetidenetif, that it neither decided that the . Deice - of York was guilty or nut geilty, he did not see that it was proper to, do so. The Gentleman on the other side wished hie Honourable Friend's mo tion made stronger, that it might be more easy to deal with. :Ho was too old a soldier to be ensnared t hi s wa y, :an d % , orddittrow how, to deal with such a proeositiee. Thzit 111060Z1 went must need) to state th e e elea produced by the evidence on his mind, mild he would rather l eave suspicions against' the Duke of York than go any 'further. It was the Duke of York's own conde6l, and his friends WO ,were nbtearlier to put hint upon his guard, that pac ed him in this situatiOn, and tint the motinu he sup ported. I"he Honourable Gentlem e n ()mimeo had supported themselves by generel statements, instead of going into particul tr eras. They said it was not probable the Duke of York would . do it—thatthe Duke copid not forget writing the Note if, be hud done so: Fur his part he believed that the loesenees of mind, of habit, and of principle, in which his •fligliness lived, was likely to peelnee a evlaxatioe neat would leave him in that vague: state which was the objet o f hi s H onoura bl e Friencra metion. - However much he discredited Mrs. Clarke's evidence,' he could 'not believe there was any plot.; for, it' she had intended so, she could not have got into Watering with &Wen; Donovan, Maltby, and HOiendon, people who co* have assisted her so much in carrying her designs into e11e6.1: They had also argued from the charac ter of the army, and of the persons around the Com mander in Chief but this did not appear - en nrgu merit against the eharge, but merely thrateiiii eeme thing in to balance.
